After discussing this with a few folks (including Jesse), I'd like to propose removing Brandon Bowersox-Johnson from the D8 list & replacing him with Jesse Beach.

Jesse's shown a lot of initiative on accessibility issues and has been really critical in helping to push the accessibility tools available in Core.

Drupal 8 is going to be used to build web applications as much or more than it is to build web sites. Her work on improving an aural UI is great and think that it will be something that more users will start to expect in the future.

Oh this is a clear win; not sure how this got lost in the shuffle.

@bowersox also said he'd like to step aside in #1854480-15: Remove inactive maintainers from MAINTAINERS.txt, so that change is approved too.

Well, let's double-check with Jesse first actually before I volunteer her. :)

This makes sense. I'm interested in the topic and I'm working actively on a side project to help us automate accessibility checking.
